#🔒 Making a program accessible to others

I have made a game in Python using pygame. I would like a few friends to be able to play the game, how would I go about making it so that my friends can play the game I made. I don’t want them to have to just copy the code and paste it into an IDE of their own. Maybe I’m asking how I’d make an executable but I don’t know if that’s what I’m asking

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

you could send them the .py?

you can use something like pyinstaller or py2exe but your friends device would flag your game as a virus

#

Like how do other people make games that you can play online

#

three.js, babylon.js

#

static site hosting or firebase-like alternatives

#

but, coming back to pygame

#

you can use a replit

#

for pygame

inland wraith
#

Okay I’ve heard of replit

#

What is it exactly

floral hollow
#

it's a platform to code online, in many languages; or when I used to use it back then (2021)
now there's some AI shit in there

#

but it just claims to run pygame apps

inland wraith
#

Interesting I’ll be looking in to that

#

usually 3d/games on web is done using js; and python is not as distributed as js (browsers)

inland wraith
#

I see

floral hollow
#

but throw in nuitka and see if it's able to make a working exe
